French farmers are maintaining their protest and continuing to obstruct major roads in the country, as they believe the government's recent measures do not adequately address their demands. The protest, which aims to secure better remuneration for agricultural products, reduce bureaucratic hurdles, and protect against cheap imports, has gained momentum in recent days with farmers utilizing their tractors to block roads and slow down traffic. Additionally, they have been depositing unpleasant agricultural waste at the entrances of government buildings.
While some barricades have been gradually removed on Saturday, Vinci Autoroutes, the highway operator, reported the closure of the A7, a crucial highway connecting southern France to Spain. Partial road closures are persisting, primarily in southern France. Nevertheless, Vinci Autoroutes confirmed the removal of blockades on two highways leading to Paris, as well as the reopening of the Lyon-to-Bordeaux highway on Saturday.
